UNSPSC 85642259: Removal of drainage device from lower extremity subcutaneous tissue and fascia, percutaneous approach

This classification denotes the group of activities that yields a surgical intervention or procedure to removal of drainage device from lower extremity subcutaneous tissue and fascia, percutaneous approach. This surgical intervention or procedure is listed in the World Health Organization's International Statistical Classification of Diseases and Related Health Problems or ICD-10 as code 0JPW30Z

UNSPSC 85642259 Removal of drainage device from lower extremity subcutaneous tissue and fascia, percutaneous approach is a Commodity code that shows minimal alignment with actual state and local procurement activity. The code nominally describes a surgical procedure—percutaneous removal of a drainage device from subcutaneous tissue and fascia in the lower extremity—but recent opportunities posted under this code do not solicit surgical procedure services. Instead, the opportunities span medical staffing, medical surveillance, pharmacy benefit management, and medical evaluation services—none of which involve drainage device removal or the specific procedural scope the code name describes. State and local procurement offices are tagging opportunities from diverse issuing bodies including city pension boards, municipal health systems, county departments, and state transportation agencies under this code despite material mismatch between the code's procedural definition and the services being purchased.

The geographic spread of recent activity includes Arizona (Phoenix Retirement Office), California (City of Long Beach, Santa Clara County Health System), Washington State (Department of Transportation), Texas (Harris County Juvenile Probation Department), and Florida (Collier County), with no dominant concentration. Representative recent opportunities include the City of Phoenix Retirement Office RFP for independent medical evaluation services (RTMRFP26001, due October 16, 2026), the Washington State Department of Transportation RFP for occupational medical surveillance services across 14 ferry locations (RFP20260825, due October 9, 2026 with pre-bid August 31, 2026), and the County of Santa Clara Health System RFSQ for temporary health professional staffing across multiple ancillary clinical specialties (RFSQHHSFY270052, due October 7, 2026). The code classification does not reflect genuine procurement need; firms pursuing state and local contracts under this code should verify actual scope alignment before committing resources, as the recent posting pattern suggests systematic category misalignment rather than targeted opportunity flow.
